Pre-debut
SHINee remained a secret until May 18, 2008 when the introduction of the new group surfaced on various articles on the Internet. However, some members of the band had made small appearances without alerting the media about the band. Jonghyun, for instance, lent his voice in a duet with Zhang Liyin, "Wrongly Given Love" (交错的爱), which was recorded in Zhang Liyin's first Chinese album. Minho appeared in Ha Sangbaek's fashion show in March 2008. Key appeared as an extra in Super Junior's official movie, Attack on the Pin-Up Boys. Near the end of the movie, during the song 'Wonderboy', he appeared in a school uniform, dancing.
On May 19, 2008 a teaser for the group's debut music video appeared on their official website. The video was then released on May 22, 2008 and their first mini album on May 23, 2008.
Ha Sang Baek is appointed as their official designer.[1] Their style has created a fashion trend of high-top sneakers, skinny jeans and colorful sweaters, which the media named the "SHINee Trend".[2]
